Bayer Leverkusen Dominate Hertha BSC 4-0, Schick Scores Hat-Trick, Wirtz Sets Assist Record.

The match between Bayer Leverkusen and Hertha BSC was a thrilling affair as the home side dominated proceedings from start to finish. The visitors came into the game looking to make up for their previous defeat at the hands of RB Leipzig but were unable to mount any significant threat in front of goal.

In contrast, Bayer Leverkusen showed no signs of nerves or pressure and took control of the game from the first whistle. Their forward line, led by Christian Gourcuff, had been in fine form recently and they did not disappoint on this occasion either. They created numerous chances and put pressure on the Hertha defence throughout the game.

Hertha BSC struggled to find any rhythm in the opening stages and were constantly underdogs against a strong Bayer Leverkusen team. However, things changed after just five minutes when Christian Gourcuff found himself in the box and scored his first goal for the season with a powerful shot from outside the area. The home side then doubled their lead two minutes later when Thomas Meunier headed home from a corner kick.

The game continued to be a one-sided affair as Bayer Leverkusen increased their advantage further before half-time. Gourcuff added another goal shortly after the restart, while Robert Lewandowski also got on the score sheet for the visitors. In the final ten minutes, Schick completed his hat-trick with a stunning volley that sent the crowd wild.

This result is a huge boost for Bayer Leverkusen's title hopes as they have now secured a place in the top four with just three games remaining. Meanwhile, Hertha BSC will be disappointed with their performance and will need to work hard if they want to avoid relegation. It was a dominant display from the German champions, who showed why they are considered one of the best teams in Europe.
